Berklee College of Music, a comprehensive classroom.

A dark-haired Asian woman stood on the podium and said, "As we all know, there are two types of performers, one is visual and the other is figurative. Why are all the students of the University of Music required to perform on the streets? Because their teachers are developing their figurative skills, many talented artists have touched the threshold of figurative performance at this stage. The same is true for the ancient music of Africa, Asia, and the Americas, which can easily attract the attention of dǐng sharp musicians, because most of the art forms that have been tempered over hundreds of years can find figurative performance characteristics in them. ”

The students in the audience all diǎn diǎn head, and a middle-aged woman standing on the side of the teacher's podium also followed diǎn head.

Then, the young Asian woman added, "I'll play a video and a recording later, and before I do that, I want people to recall the characteristics of these two different performers." The woman said, pointing to a white boy who was listening attentively and said, "Cole, you come." ”

Cole immediately sat down and said: "Visual performers need to use makeup, movements, lighting, etc., when they perform, they are often very conceited and easy to attract attention, while concrete performers do not rely on external conditions, but only use their unique skills to make the audience feel the emotional symbols in the performance." to achieve the purpose of making the audience emotionally cathartic. And clearly, all artists are striving to become figurative performers. ”

The woman diǎn diǎn head, looked at everyone, and said, "To be honest, I don't want to mention in my paper the kind of TV idols that many people like nowadays, because they are obviously still in the initial stage of performers, and recently I met a very interesting person, we can barely count her as an artist, and the nature of her performance makes me feel very peculiar." Let's take a look at a video. ”

The projector in the classroom quickly showed the picture, starting with a video of a girl singing a cappella in some unknown places, and for the students who took the performance form course, they were familiar with the postmodernist musical form, so when they heard it, they could hear that the girl was singing "ors" by the Dutch npraon.

The students were frowning and savoring the girl's singing, and almost no one paid attention to what was on the screen, and the Asian girl secretly glanced at the middle-aged woman on the side of the podium, who gave her a reassuring and approving smile.

"O, it's this guy next. "In fact, you don't need a girl to introduce you, you can see that the picture on the video has changed, and the music has also changed.

At this time, the video shows some girls performing on stage, and since they are all students of the conservatory, everyone can easily distinguish the voice of the girl who sang "ors" just now, but because of this, their brows are furrowed even more, and they even try to give each other disbelief looks.

After this video, the picture changed again, and it can be seen that the video editing technique is very rough, but no one cares about this, because everyone sees the girl who sang "ors" just now, wearing an MIT school uniform and playing the cello, and the place on the screen is familiar to everyone, because it was filmed in Berklee College of Music.

Although none of the cello notes in the video were wrong, the students frowned as they tried to see the video to see if the girl was actually the player, and the Asian girl added: "I recorded this video two weeks ago, and I can assure you that she was the one who played it at the time." ”

The students watched the video and suddenly thought that the girl who was playing the cello was very familiar, and soon everyone recognized her - the most unexpected dark horse of Boston Mar La Son on the 21st, Phoebe Song from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In the eyes of the students, Phoebe is famous for another reason, that is, she competed as a donor, but she overtook professional marathon runners from all over the world along the way, and actually set the best result of all runners since the Boston Marathon was held.

The most important thing is that Phoebe, who won the first place, took the initiative to sing a song when she was interviewed by the media afterwards, "Orasp", if translated into Chinese, most of them are "You Inspired Me", but in some cases, it can also be called "You Raised Me"......

Sure enough, the last video was played when a reporter asked Phoebe how she felt about winning the first place, and Phoebe first said: "You know, my mood is really difficult to describe in words, but there is a song that is very much in line with my current feelings." ”

The reporter asked again, "What song is it?"

Phoebe said: "If I can, I want to sing it to your camera, is it okay? I think as the first place in this amateur group, it is not too much to take up a little more diǎn time, right?"

The reporter showed interest and handed the microphone to Phoebe, and at the same time said: "Of course, miss, as long as your voice doesn't scare the audience away." ”

Amid good-natured laughter, Phoebe shrugged and took the microphone and sang, "Naonan, Oso, Soar;

nrobsanarbrnb”

Because there was also the host of ceremonies at the time of the interview, Phoebe's singing also spread on the spot, this very Irish style song was originally in Boston with a large audience, and this song has also been very popular in recent years, so many people also sang along with Phoebe's singing

orasp,soansanononans;

orasp,oaonsorsas;

asron,naonorsors;

oraspoorananb.

After the song was sung, with Phoebe as the center, almost all the people at the scene applauded, originally Boston Mar Larsson has the meaning of commemorating the Revolutionary War, and Boston, as the source of the Revolutionary War, the local people have a higher sense of spiritual honor than other regions, so this song in this festival is very easy to resonate with everyone.

The students in the class couldn't help but be a little fascinated by what they heard, and at this time, the Asian girl smiled: "I said, I know this girl named Phoebe, so I specially asked her to sing "Orasp" to me again, let's take a look, this is the version without the interference of the live audience." ”

Everyone was interested, and since the marathon on the 21st, Phoebe has become almost a celebrity in Boston, so everyone is curious about her.

In the video, everyone saw that it was in a place similar to a living room, and a few words in the picture were first heard in a language they didn't understand (Korean), and after a while, Phoebe was pulled to the camera by the girl on the podium and another Asian girl, and the new Asian girl waved her thumbs to the camera, which caused the students in the classroom to laugh lowly, and the Asian girl on the podium cleared her throat in embarrassment: "That girl is Korean, and she is not very familiar with the American gesture language." ”

Immediately afterwards, Phoebe in the video first said: "Okay, Michelle promises that the next video and audio will only be used for academic research, then I will start." ”

Michelle in the video suddenly said to the camera: "That's right, I promise." ”

The Asian girl on the podium saw her classmates looking at herself, and couldn't help but say: "No way, she is a singer of a Korean group, and she has signed a contract with Universal Music, and it is really troublesome to record her in private, by the way, the one holding the VCR is her agent." After speaking, Michelle added: "It's her sister." ”

The students in the audience diǎn diǎn head, and then saw Phoebe close her eyes, take a breath and sing "Orasp".

After listening to the first sentence, the students in the audience couldn't help but close their eyes and savor what was conveyed in Phoebe's singing, and some students were even reluctant to open their eyes and get out of that wonderful artistic conception.

Michelle waited for a while and said, "Look, it's such a seventeen-year-old girl, sometimes she is a visual performer, but sometimes she is a figurative performer, and this discovery was discovered under the finger of Teacher Vivian. ”

As she spoke, Michelle smiled at the middle-aged woman standing on the side of the podium and said, " In the Renaissance period, a large amount of classical music continued to emerge with the emergence of some geniuses, but for those who have studied classical music, in fact, there will be a question, according to the conditions of the time, folk art and high art are completely impossible to communicate, but why the classical music produced in that period, and why a group of musicians at that time, can easily take on the characteristics of figurative performers. Modern musicians, on the other hand, need to go to street performances to understand the threshold of breaking through the barriers of performance, are we missing out on something more important when we inherit the artistic heritage of our predecessors?"

Michelle's words caused the students in the classroom to diǎn diǎn their heads, and she added: "Some people may say that Berkeley is just a temple of modern performing arts, so she lacks the musical heritage of Vienna and Paris, so her inheritance is incomplete or incomplete, but everyone who has been here for more than a year knows that the difference between classical music and modern music is not as obvious as ordinary people think." And, as artists have evolved, it has become clear that some of the most important things are missing from their legacy. ”

At this time, a boy interjected and asked, "Are you talking about the spirituality and soul of music?"

Michelle diǎn diǎn diǎn head, shook her head again and said: "Because it is people who play music, the spirituality and soul of music are not the same, but, except because of the classical, In addition to the label of elegance or avant-garde and other symbols for music, in fact, many people have found that in the inheritance of music, we do lose something, some people may say, the talent of musicians makes music have a soul, I do not deny this diǎn, but I still want to wonder if we are inheriting the things of our ancestors, whether we are because of the passion for music, and neglect something......"

At this time, Teacher Vivian saw that everyone nodded in agreement, so she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, thank you Michelle for your project report." ”

Michelle smiled, diǎn diǎn head and walked back to her seat, Vivien walked to the podium and said to the students, "Music requires passion, whether it is modern music or classical music. Michelle was able to notice such a problem, which was very invasive, and I supported her choice of this topic. By the way, this kind of research should have been done when you were in your thirties, when your understanding of music would have a certain sense of limitation, a feeling of wanting to break through something, but it is okay for you to realize this problem at such a young age, because this problem is not discovered by me as a teacher, but by your own accident, which is very good for your growth. Therefore, this semester, I have added one more optional topic to this subject, which Michelle introduced to you today, I don't care how to start researching, I just hope that in the process of research, you will increase your understanding of music to gain some gains, of course, if Michelle can lead the research team to find something meaningful to what you said about the inheritance of music, I will also feel honored because this topic is separated in my class. ”

Michelle felt that almost everyone in the classroom was looking at her, and she couldn't help but straighten her chest and smile at Vivien.

Vivien said again: "Okay, today's class is over, everyone can go to Michelle if they have any questions, of course, if someone wants to work with her on a new topic, Michelle, as the initiator of the project, has the right to decide." Let's get out of class. ”

Michelle didn't let go of the smile on her face, looked left and right at a few students who were obviously very interested, and said while packing her things: "Everyone knows my mailbox, if you are interested, you can send me the email." ”

When everyone saw that she was about to leave, they couldn't help but hold back a few words, Michelle had to cry and say with a sad face: "Actually, I do have a problem here, that Phoebe is an artist, and she doesn't want to cooperate with my research." I've got to get to her. ”

In the previous video, they saw that Phoebe was a performer who could switch back and forth between visual and figurative types, and Michelle and Phoebe seemed to have a good relationship, but, Michelle just now actually told everyone that Phoebe was unwilling to cooperate with the study, which is completely impossible to force Phoebe in the United States, which pays attention to human rights, and the students even suspected that Michelle probably couldn't let Phoebe diǎn head, after all, she just said, Phoebe is still one"Entertainer".
